Courtney King is a respected Indianapolis attorney who practices with Ice Miller, LLP’s Labor and Employment Group. In her work as an attorney, Courtney King focuses on federal and state litigation matters and has particular knowledge of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which governs aspects of employment such as minimum wage and overtime pay.
As of 2009, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, with numerous states also having specific minimum wages set above that level.
Covered nonexempt employees who engage in work for their employer of more than 40 hours each week are entitled to overtime pay. This is set at a rate of at least 1.5 times the regular hourly pay.
Importantly, the total number of hours worked by individuals over age 16 has no cap, as long as overtime pay is factored in. FLSA guidelines must be displayed publicly in the workplace and the employer is responsible for accurately keeping records of time worked and pay administered. In cases where issues of compensation and overtime arise, it makes sense to seek out a well-qualified lawyer.
